Nintendo America has, hey wait on a minute.. maybe not

In the few days after the two Nintendo 3DS launch events there was news floating around (and not helped by Nintendos wording) that the Nintendo 3DS eShop wouldnt be available for launch. Launching a new console without one of its new top tier features would have been pretty foolish.However, Nintendo Europe has come to the rescue and said that the store will indeed be available on day 1, youll just need to update your firmware to get it.

Nintendo America isnt so forthcoming though saying that they will "release additional information about Nintendo eShop, including timing, content and pricing, at a later date." Nintendo more than likely has had the Nintendo 3DS sitting in storage for months, the so the latest firmware would still likely be under development.

Hey Nintendo, left hand, right hand, talk to each other and sort this out.
